The Live, Loves and Adventures of Emily Hahn
Known as "Mickey" to her friends, Emily Hahn travelled across the country dressed as a boy in the 1920s; ran away to the Belgian Congo as a Red Cross Worker during the Great Depression; was the concubine of a Chinese poet in Shanghai in the 1930s, had an illegitimate child with the head of the British Secret Service in Hong Kong just before the break-out of World War II; was involved in underground relief work in occupied Hong Kong, and moved back to the United States and became a pioneer in wild life preservation before her death in 1997 at the age of 92. A feminist trailblazer before the word existed, Hahn also wrote hundreds of articles as well as almost 50 books in a variety of genres. This is a rare and wonderful biography of a life lived with passion and without fear.
